Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
    And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
    Than keep a corner in the thing I love
    For others’ uses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
